Anyone know of any mods that let player models emit particles and/or light?
#a mod that lets players emit light and/or particles

some shaders, such as complementary shaders, include a "dynamics lights" feature which does that when enabled (at least visuals-only)

unfortunately I can't get shaders working on my server, and I meant more on a individual basis anyway.
I also meant the player model itself not a shader

well shaders would be a client-side mod
and I meant more on a individual basis anyway.
so... like a client mod that not everyone needs to install on a server?
or you actually want this light to be server-sided (aka actually affecting in-game block light levels rather than just a visual effect)
but for particle effects, you can actually just do that with a simple repeating command block or datapack. something like /execute as @a at @s run particle enchant ~ ~1 ~ 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.1 1 normal (I haven't tested this, but this should spawn some "enchant" particles around the torso of every player on the server)

um... I do want it server side, but only for the player that has the mod not all players,"everyone can see it however." and it will affect actual block light levels, I have a simpler request as well... a mod that makes a lava like liquid that looks like nether portal inky blackness wit stars. however it doesn't burn people that fall into it.

I take your silence as a hint you aren't going to even try to make something like that? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wait this confuses me, you want server level lighting, but not have players see it? I mean, I guess you could do that by blocking the light update packets, but that could generate a whole list of problems. And that would also be giving players incorrect information (since it affects spawning and all that)
feral nacelle
no, I want the players to see it, just only be installed client side, I want the light to render server side tho
is that possible?
like, I don't want every player to emit light, just the one that has the mod installed
I would assume if the mod was server side everyone would glow
halcyon delta
So you want players who have the mod installed give off real light (aka it's server-side light that actually affects the game) and all players in the world can see the light they produce, right?
halcyon delta
Ah, that makes a lot more sense that what you said the prior day 😛
feral nacelle
oof. srry it's hard to describ
I think I was trying too hard
thnks tho, you showed me my error in explaining it.
halcyon delta
On do-ability, it's possible, but minecraft entities can't produce light in general. There's ways to get around this, (heck I've done it myself in vanilla), but it's prone to bugs.
This video is a good example:

noice, imagine that but like little floating or rolling spheres affected by physics
so essentially, you would need to make a light source block attached to the player themselves
It'd also be amazing if it could be made configurable and customizable
like change color, radius and brightness, or number of lights.
even better if there was a way to make it customizable in coordinates, like x,y,z around the player model "useful for things like glowing eyes but nowhere else, or glowing tail tips."
I would love to try to make stuff like this but it's apparently not so easy
